Posted on: Cedar Co., Mo Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Cedar/870 Surname: English, Allen ------------------------- Searching for information about the Phoebe English who married James Madison Allen in Polk County in 1836. That would have been before Cedar became a county in 1845. To the best of my knowledge James Madison and Phoebe were the parents of Mary Ann and Minerva Jane who were raised in Cedar and Greene counties by James Madison and Lucy Ann Gore.
